Chapter 63: Panic within the tribe.
A week and 5 days passed, only one day left before the sacrifice, The tribal chief, by the way, I still don't know his name, seemed more and more distraught, he kept hanging out with his daughter and making walks with her.
I'm in my room writing and then....
_ Hey, sir, I'm being smart!!
Niyus ²: What do you want grayus?!
Grayus was speaking in my head again.
Grayus: It's been a long time already, I'm still waiting for you to shape my being!
Niyus ²:What are you talking about?!
Grayus: I see you, I know everything you do since I live a little in you, I know you can create someone's being, but I always wonder why you always wait before creating mine !
Niyus ²: First of all because it's not currently necessary for me, then I don't really know, creating the being of an individual as powerful as you doesn't seem so simple, if I fail you would disappear since you will leave the end!
Grayus: Why do you continue to underestimate me so much, no matter what being you offer me, even that of a baby, I could always take it because I know how to become aware of its being, so I could easily shape all the rest!
Niyus ²: Your being before was much more powerful and resistant, if I offer you the one that I can shape now, your being will be fragile, you will therefore have to make it solid, limit your state of body, soul and spirit!
Grayus: You're not wrong, it's true that I prefer not to take too many risks!!
Niyus ²: So just give me time to have even more knowledge to shape beings of your quality, it shouldn't take me much time seeing how I progress by meditating!
Grayus: I hate it when you're right!!
Niyus ²: So don't get involved in a debate with me!
Knock knock knock* said the door being knocked.
Niyus ²: Who is this?
The door opens, and it was the daughter of the tribal chief.
_ Lord niyus, I would like to speak to you please!
Niyus ²: come in, and take a seat on my desk!
She comes in and sits on the desk.
Niyus ²: What do you want to tell me?
_ It's about... You know I have longer to live, more than one day, so I would like to know if... You are not a charlatan, because unlike the others I am coming don't believe in yourself and what you do, it seems impossible that a man from nowhere claims to be able to rid us of tatam!
Niyus² slowly closes his eyes and sighs.
Niyus ²: I see, you take me for a charlatan, yet I'm not asking you for money!
_ I know, I especially think that you have no place to live and that you wanted to take advantage of us, anyway if you are not capable of really killing tatam and that you are a charlatan I will tell you I will ask you to leave today and now because my father's sentence will be extremely cruel for you!
Niyus ²: Hum... and you come to tell me like that, yet I deserve to die because that would mean that I made fun of your tribe all this time, don't you think?
_ No, I never got used to seeing people get killed!
Niyus²: You must be very nice princess!
_ So you were leaving?!
Niyus ²: Of course not!
_ Eh!!
Niyus ²: I would have done it if I were really a charlatan, a crook, which is not the case, and you are still the only one who believes that you will lose your life against tatam, I promise you that there is nothing to be afraid of !
The little princess frowns and gets angry.
_What's your problem, we don't need your services here, you think you can be our savior, at worst the situation you're just going to make it bigger, no one needs you here, get out, that's all!
Niyus ² looks into her eyes, the princess was streaming tears in large drops, but Niyus ² saw a lot of dissatisfaction in her and not with regard to him but with the consequences to come.
Niyus ²: You know, it's not really for your interest that I want to kill tatam but my own!
_ eh !
Niyus ²: Even if you chase me away today, I will still stay around until this demon has taken his last breath, I know you are afraid, especially afraid of the consequences, which scares you it is to imagine that I am not able to kill this demon and that in revenge for his failed murder he destroys your clan killing everyone without leaving anyone....
The princess's eyes widen, being surprised at what Niyus said²
Niyus ²: .... This is very well thought out of you, you will make a very good queen when the time comes, that's good, but let me do my job and save you at the same time, so that you May you become this fabulous queen who thinks about the well-being of her people!
_ ho... How could you know all that?!
Niyus ²: I can read someone's emotions and feelings like in a book, I know it's not very good what I just did but, I don't think you would have explained that to me , so I had to read into you to understand you Finally!
_ I... I don't want things to turn upside down, Lord Niyus...!
Niyus ²: it's completely normal to worry about that, but I'm going to ask you to trust me, I will save you all, Princess Inès!!
Inès: oh, did you know my first name?!
Niyus ² nodded.
Niyus²: I could tell by reading you, you are a very nice girl...!
Niyus ² gave a compassionate smile while closing his eyes.
He then said.
Niyus ²: It would be a shame if the Great Chief could lose a girl as adorable as you!
Princess Inès' eyes light up, she was lost in Niyus' words which gave her feelings of joy and sadness at the same time.
Tears began to flow from her eyes, so Princess Inès began to cry.
Inès: Lord niyus, forgive the bad things that I may have said to you for a moment, I am... I am... Gaaah!!!
Words were no longer able to be formed properly by the princess.
Niyus ² took the princess in his arms.
Niyus ²: I have since forgiven you, don't worry, now go see your father, and tell him that you love him!!
Princess Inès walks away from Niyus ² wiping her tears.
She smiled big and then curtseyed to Niyus ²
Inès: I'm counting on it Lord Niyus, in fact I'm going there straight away!!
She leaves and closes the door to Niyus' room.
Niyus² lays down on his bed and then sighs.
Grayus: The smooth talker that you are!!
He says .
Niyus ²: I didn't just talk, I clearly said what I thought of her!
Grayus: puffff, love and compassion repel me!!
Niyus ²: It's logical, demons are not subject to Human feeling!
Grayus: that's why we are the best!!
Niyus ²:you said it
Grayus: it's the truth!!
Niyus ²: No!!
Grayus: yes!!
Niyus ²: No!!
Grayus: Yes!!
Niyus ²: No!!
Grayus: I tell you that yes!
Niyus ²: And I tell you no!
Grayus: Shut up, humans have no right to respond to demons without our permission!!
Niyus ²: It's time for this rule to change!!
Grayus: Grrrrr, Find a way to shape my being so I can beat your rat face!!
Niyus ²: Prrrr hahaha!!!!
Grayus: And it makes you laugh too!! .....
10 p.m., a huge gathering is held in my honor
The boss was stressed, I knew he was questioning all his doubts again, deep inside I could read that he was afraid of his daughter's fate, he was worried, he wondered if he had made the right choice to give me his trust.
He says .
_ This evening, we are having an evening in honor of Lord Niyus, who to be sure, will offer us his worthy word today, to confirm to us once again that we had nothing to fear from the tatam demon!!
Niyus ² approaches the middle of the courtyard.
All eyes are on him observing his every move.
Niyus ² put his hand on his chest and said.
Niyus ²: I still don't understand, I don't know how to reassure you now, I can just imbue you with my energy to change your fear into joy, or what you want but not this fear, but I know that you wouldn't agree to me doing it... However, I'm just telling you that tomorrow, tatam will live his last moments, I offer you my word!!
Murmurs from left to right are spreading.
The tribal leader remains focused and looks Niyus ² in the eyes.
Niyus ² remains calm and also looks the tribal chief in the eyes, without understanding him, the tribal chief voices in Niyus ² greatness, an immense greatness that he was not capable of defining.
He began to tremble on his own and sweat profusely, he was paralyzed by the fear that niyus ² was giving him, even though he did not wish him any harm.
He falls to his knees and says.
_ How, how can you be so big, so powerful, so indefinable!!!!
The tribesmen rush towards the chief.
_ CHEF, ARE YOU OKAY?!!
They weren't able to understand what he had just seen.
Niyus ²: what's wrong with him?!
Niyus ² approaches the leader who suddenly starts screaming.
_ NO, NO, DON'T... DON'T APPROACH ME, STAY WHERE YOU ARE PLEASE!!
Niyus ² stops for a moment and frowns.
The chief's guards all stood in front of him to protect their leader.
DON'T APPROACH!!!*
They told Niyus ².
Inès stands up from her princess throne and says.
Inès: But father, what is happening, Lord Niyus, please help him!!
Niyus ² looks at Princess Inès and nods without saying anything.
I think he looked into my eyes too much, I should have avoided his gaze, I wasn't expecting that honestly, but if I avoided his gaze he might have taken me for a liar.
YOU HAVE HEARD, GET AWAY LORD NIYUS!!!*
The guards always said.
Niyus ²: get out of the way immediately!!!
At these words, the guards did not understand what was happening to them. Their lower limbs began to move on their own and move away from the tribal leader, leaving the way for Niyus ²
*BUT WHAT HAPPENS TO US!!! *
* HELP !!!*
This strange phenomenon frightened the guard and other members of the tribe.
Niyus ² extends his right hand towards the tribal chief and he suddenly stops trembling.
_ How.... How is that possible?!
Niyus ²: in the future avoid looking into my eyes, it could have been fatal for you..
The tribal leader looks at Niyus² for a moment before closing his eyes.
_ oh thank you lord Niyus!!!
He prostrates himself before Niyus and begins to thank him several times.
Niyus ²: it's not much you know, get up!
The tribal chief stands up.
Niyus ² looks at the people again and says.
Niyus ²: listen to me all, tomorrow I suggest you do as with every sacrifice so that tatam suspects nothing, so I can catch him by surprise and prevent him from running away, are you agreement !!
*YES!!!* shouted the tribe.
Niyus ²:Good!
After my speech, a small dance was organized in my honor, the most beautiful women of the tribe and the most talented men organized dances similar to wedding brooms, it was not the ideal season for my taste knowing that logically their princess should be devoured tomorrow.
After this dance, it's one o'clock, I go into my room and sit at my desk.
The door knocks again behind me.
Niyus ²: Who is it, please come home!!
The door opens and it was Rivhiamë.
Niyus ²: Oh, Rivhiamë is that you?!!
I was so happy to see her coming towards me that I got up from my desk.
Rivhiamë seemed shy like when I had just discovered her.
Rivhiamë:Ni... Niyus, I....
Niyus ²: What's the matter, go ahead, I'm your friend after all!
Rivhiamë: I would like to sleep with you if you accept me....
Niyus ²: Hum... Rivhiamë, you know very well that I haven't been able to sleep at all since my meditation, but you can sleep in my room if you want!
Rivhiamë shakes her head and says.
Rivhiamë: No, Niyus, I too am not subject to sleep, but I want you to sleep with me, that's all please Niyus, I want to snuggle in your arms...!
Niyus ²: oh.... Okay, you can spend the whole night in my arms if you want, but I won't be able to sleep, sorry!!
Rivhiamë starts to smile and says.
Rivhiamë: It works!!!
Niyus ²: sits on his desk and opens his arms wide to Rivhiamë who jumps on them.
A cuddle session was in order.
Rivhiamë kept hugging Niyus² for a while before falling asleep completely.
Niyus ², despite Rivhiamë, continued to write what he wanted like every evening in his room.
